Dammit. Why? – Super Bowl 53 Open Thread

The L. A. Rams were a very fine team this season, then got the Super Bowl end of a really, really bad no-call in plain sight. Now the Rams are on the verge of thoroughly validating Roger Goodell’s sick obsession to have a team  in LA. The other team is the Patriots. Again. And really: at this stage, what can impede New England being in the Superb Owl next year too? I can only think of nuclear war or the Doomsday Clock being managed by Andy Reid.

Every fanbase has asshole fans. C’mon: if you won’t talk shit about other teams and fans… If you can’t muster an earnest jerkwad at someone else’s celebration of a missed field goal–well, why even bother with sports. But Pats fans, ALL Pats fans, come off as extra insufferable because they have the worst quality: titles.

If results were the standard, New England is the top sports franchise, I dare say, in the world.

Devil in left shoulder: Tch, what’s with this praise shit?

Angel on right shoulder: [takes loooong drag of a joint, coughs, falls to ground]

It just SUCKS to have every beef with the Pats get resolved by the lowest of low blows for sporting arguments: facts.

[Puts out angel with shoe, picks up joint]

Belichick and Brady have been the constant in nine Superb Owl teams. In recent runs, the Pats did not resort to splashy free agent signings, like Corey Dillon or Randy Moss, or one-year rentals like Revis and Brandin Cooks. They just sign players who buy into the coaching, play six games in a crap division, and get enough time to prepare to the Divisional Playoffs. It feels like the NFL is rigged; all week I was thinking about players who left New England and continued on to notable careers. Found two: Asante Samuel and

It used to be fashionable to call Super Bowl Champion Aqib Talib a “punk”, after his time in the Bucs, self-inflicted gun trouble (twice), and ripping off the gold chain of the upstanding sportsman that goes by the name of Michael Crabtree (also twice). Talib was two years on the Patriots, then got together with Wade Phillips in Denver. This season, both are with the Rams, while the Donks defense without Talib and Phillips now resembles the post-No Fly Zone Lybia. Talib was injured on Week 3, had ankle surgery, and returned on Week 13. The Rams defense allowed more than 30 points without Talib, less than 19 with him, which I saw on Patriots Wire and other propaganda arms. Talib is a defensive captain, which still riles up folks who think “Captain Talib” is a much worse dishonor of the title than “President Trump”.

Here’s another sickening title: Superb Owl Champions New England Patriots. Not that it’s undeserved. Tom Brady has to be one of the two top quarterbacks to have played in all 99 NFL seasons. The Pats OL coach, Dante Scarnecchia, has taken scores of cogs and produced very good lines. There’s only so much you can do with stealing defensive signals from the Jest and taking off a few psi off a ball. (The only smoking guns; even the Guerrero thing is kinda lackin’.) Nine Superb Owls is too much for a counterargument about CHEETIN. Besides, everyone has seen the Pats executing ably any damn gameplan or play, regardless of players. Fuckers.

For the record: I do not like Tom Brady, but I gotta give him props for not surrendering his cellphone—especially after creaming the Clots, with regulation balls, on the second half of the Deflategate game. Me? I wouldn’t surrender my cellphone TO ANYBODY. Would you? Why not? You got nothing to hide, right? You certainly scrubbed thoroughly the search for Divine’s birth date and the subsequent wormhole entry into dogshit porn.

More dogshit: asshole Pats fans cry “They hate us ’cause they ain’t us”. Well… Nawt really! Bob Kraft got grifted out of a SB ring by Vladimir Putin. Josh McDaniels is a dirty competitor and an execrable human. As a head coach in Denver, he got busted for videotaping (after Spygate, mind you), then stiffed Indianapolis by backing off an agreement to become their head coach this season. That McDaniels got buzz for head coaching gigs this year outside NE is yet another example for how little integrity counts for NFL business.  But hey! Put it in the pile on top of bad officiating, byzantine game rules, and signing proven flotsam over Super Bowl Quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Yeah yeah, “World Corrupt”, stop the presses.

The Championship games two weeks ago were dynamite. The Rams-Saints result was a very bad look for the NFL, but it was not an unjust outcome. The crowd was very hostile and the Rams defense did a hell of a job against Brees and All-World RB Alvin Kamara. (Hey, the Saints offense got cute AF; that’s not on RAMMMMITTTT.) The Patriots offense will execute, but the Rams defense got Aaron Donald, Dante Fowler, and Ndamukong Suh with something to play for. I’ll give Suh a reprieve for this game, because taking out the also crafty Pats requires some edge. And, really: who are we to judge Suh?

I think the Rams defense is capable of giving the New England offense a shaftening on par with Stan Kroenke’s to the city of St. Louis. Getting blown out Bills-style in would be a welcome comeuppance to the move to LA. To pile on DTZM’s takedown, Bastard Stan eludes any feeling of empathy, as he is composed of the worst qualities of a cucumber: seedy AND slimy. DFO wishes him a fictional trip to Hoboken, wink. On the other hand: Rams lose,  Brady gets One For The Cock. Pft. ?. With all results being utterly hateful, the “Super Bowl LIII Experience” (hype, ads, halftime and all), is reduced to an overproduced U.S. Senate committee hearing.

But the game will be great. The Patriots do not get blown out, not with those coaches getting two weeks to prepare. And, hey, the Rams did prettay, prettay good in a bad crowd at New Orleans to a Saints team that looks better than New England. I don’t think a blowout could come in the other direction: that Rams defense is nasty, though Patrick Peterson could get picked on more than a chocolate box in the Intensive Care Unit. Worth mentioning that Bill Belichick is a stubborn, stubborn man. He refused to put Malcolm Butler in the last Superb Owl—“competitive reasons” my ass. Total spite move. But my favorite was the benching of WELKAH for the most engaging and entertaining Patriots press conference to date (re, feet), and then losing the Divisional at home against the Rex Jets. Sean McVay did not seem reckless by going for it late in that 4th and Goal against the Saints and choosing to tie. It’s a fabled matchup: young guy vs. ogre.

Predicción: Pats not making the AFC Championship will seem like the Good Old Days while Brady is in NE and they play in that kindergarden for clumsy kids called the AFC East. BUT, this one goes to the Rams.

LAST DAY OF THE SEASON. Let it out!

More blood in that bicycle than I would have thought.

Horatio Cornblower

Ah, shit, I had Edelman as the first one to be called ‘shifty’. Fucking prop bets.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why would anyone be telling someone that doesn’t even speak the same language “I love you?” That seems kind of odd.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was thinking the same thing!

Horatio Cornblower

You wanna get laid or not?

The Macrobrews are fighting on Twitter over corn syrup

Bud Light trying to carve out that populist, alcoholic, low-budget, AND health-conscious target demo all at the same time.

We would also have accepted the Saints family, uh, ownership, uh, whatever the hell is going on down there.

Knowing the Pats are going to win this sure relives the stress.

Recovery Whiskey

So far this is among the worst SB’s ever

Gatoraids

Was like that before game started

Spur

did you see the Falcons/Pats one a few years ago?

Recovery Whiskey

That at least had historic fail

Horatio Cornblower

Suh with a nice unnecessary elbow at the end of that play.

Let’s not only not cover Edelman, let’s not hit him when he catches it!

3rd Down and not covering Edelman, name a more iconic duo

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Patriots in a jam and a bailout flag.

herodotus450

Ok, dirty finishes to a tackle and Suh might ocme close.

King Hippo

Littleton playing very well

Senor Weaselo

This Rams offense has been looking more like Greatest Schmoes on Turf.

Ian Scott McCormick

Why do you even have a stadium butthole if you aren’t going to keep it open for the big game?

John Stagliano agrees with you.

That was actually kind of cool.

Horatio Cornblower

OK, that was the best ad. We’re done here.

Spur

the question is what did Bud get in return? Is there going to a kegger in Flea Bottom this year?

Horatio Cornblower

Well, they always say the food sucks in Flea Bottom, so it would fit.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Okay, well that at least surprised me.

My over bet is looking like a steaming pile right now.

It was just a little bit! (No replays of any penalties so far?)

Clothesline?

Recovery Whiskey

Grandpa was a nazi

Spur

Very good people on both sides.

hippofant

It continually stuns me how these totally bullshit companies/products can manage to whip up enough capital to buy a Super Bowl ad, and I’m sitting here just like, “This is totally a fucking scam,” within 10 seconds.

The American economy is at least 30% total bullshit at this point

Horatio Cornblower

Better than the electorate.

King Hippo

/we would have also accepted 80%

Spur

Just run CJ every snap.

Tom Brady wishes this was as easy as making out with his son is.

I’m here for Tom Brady getting crampy and cranky

I’m here for him being crippled, but those things would be a nice appetizer for the main course

I want a close-up of his patella, lying on the turf, while Donkey Kong stands over him laughing

Mother Puncher

Everbody is going to call Romo a genius when somebody finally runs a fake punt

No Flag for touching Brady?
